like this:



thats my old escort dash

to match the gauges and radio



(photos arent great but they look real good in the flesh)

lockwood white dials with blue numbers

and led's to replace the standard 501 bulbs (led's should be ultra white, and wide angle)

i have some saff ones at home that i have considered doing for a while

How do you go about getting rid of any green filters and taking the white bulbs out of the bulb holders?

as i said i havent done saff ones before, so i dont know the deal with them

the escort has no filters, i just assumed the saff woukd be the same

in the escort dash you just pull out the 501 bulbs from the holders and replace with 501 led bulbs

if there 501 bulbs, you just pull them out, they will come, they just need a good tug,

try www.plazmadials.com if you want blue dials the best bit about these is you can change to green on the same dials if you want & its got a dimmer aswell.
